I will ask around. I think you would of seen if it was a leak at the blower to manifold seal...with all that starting fluid, propane & smoke.

I actually felt pretty good about that.

I swear, I'm sooooooo wondering if it wouldn't be fixed if I seafoamed it.

I worked for a GM dealership as a service writer prior to coming to Magnuson & theres nothing worse than trying to explain to someone with a camaro/firebird/TA that their water pump failed which caused their car not to start. 9 out of 10 times with a failed optispark, we found that it was because the waterpump leaked onto it.

love that weephole design

not the greatest ever, but the waterpump itself was a beast. esp with the cam gear drive as opposed to a belt/pulley system. never have to worry about snapping a belt and overheating.
